JEREMY ALFORD freelance writer
While Jeremy spends most of his time covering Louisiana's political beat, a never-ending source of
material that feeds his syndication network, his most recent national bylines were blown to shore, quite
literally, by the Gulf of Mexico. Jeremy was on the ground for hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike.
He was also interviewed about his hurricane coverage for "The Great Deluge," an account of Katrina's
aftermath by historian Douglas Brinkley.
But if the Louisiana Legislature is in session, any political storm brewing is probably in Baton Rouge.
That's when Jeremy takes on the role of correspondent for a group of daily newspapers in south
Louisiana and serves as an independent field producer for Louisiana Public Broadcasting. His knowledge
of the legislative process has likewise led to him to author several chapters of the 2008 edition of "The
Grass-Roots Guide to the Louisiana Legislature," published by Louisiana Governmental Studies.
When not chasing down a political story or dreading hurricanes, Jeremy can be found (at the very least)
daydreaming about all of the redfish and speckled trout waiting to be caught in Louisiana's coastal
waters. Once January rolls around, though, it's full throttle into the Spanish Town Mardi Gras season with
his parading troupe, Krewe de Mewe.
Jeremy lives in Baton Rouge with his wife, the former Karron Clark, a Minnesota transplant now addicted
to her husband's duck-and-sausage gumbo, and their 1-year-old daughter, Zoe, who dressed up as a
crawfish for her first Halloween last year.
